A bottle of Tesco 1994 own label vintage port for the very reasonable price of £18. This comes from Symington Family Estates, so I presume it to Be Quarles Harris.

And 12 half bottles of Skeffington 2009 VP for early drinking when I feel the need for a baby fruit bomb.

Two bottles of 2003 Quinta do Noval LBV at $21.99/bottle. That makes 8 bottles of this in the stash. After reading some positive reviews here I'm liable to try to add more.

2001 Warre LBV. Pricey at $27, but I figured it'd be worth a try.

I could not ignore the 1994 Quarles Harris at Trader Joe's for their amazingly low price. Opened a bottle right away--delicious!

At $15.99 the Quinta do Noval was a no-brainer!

Split a '63 to '07 Graham's vertical with the brother-in-law. Now, we just have to figure out what to do with them??? Hard to split single bottles among 2 people. Maybe a tasting? It is a challenge to find enough Port drinkers in our area, though.
